Abstract

"Politics and Other Mistakes" piece on "This Splendid Game: Maine Campaigns and Elections, 1940-2002," written by Christian Potholm, a professor of government at Bowdoin College. The premise of the book is that in many elections, the campaign itself is more important than the candidates. Potholm details a seminal election from each decade, many of which featured substantial contributions by Potholm himself.
